- Het orgel van de Christ Church Cathedral in Houston, Texas, werd in 1938-1939 gebouwd door Aeolian-Skinner als opus 976. Het verving een orgel van Hutchings-Votey uit 1908, dat op 22 maart 1938 door een brand verloren ging. Het nieuwe orgel kon op 12 maart 1939 worden ingewijd. Adviseur was Ned Gammons, organist van de kathedraal. Het orgel is in 1954 en in 1968 door Aeolian-Skinner gereviseerd en vergroot. De Visser-Rowland Association werkte in 1984 aan het instrument, waarbij de speeltafel en het koppelingssysteem opnieuw werden gebouwd. Het orgel bevindt zich op het koor van de kerk. Het is gedoopt tot het Edwin Robinson Spotts Memorial Organ.
- In 1992 werd in het schip van de kerk een nieuw antifoon-orgel geïnstalleerd, het William N. Barnard Memorial Orgel. Dit orgel, gebouwd door de Schantz Organ Company, is aangesloten op de hoofdconsole. John Hendriksen reviseerde het Aeolian-Skinner-orgel in 1993.
- De huidige situatie dateert van 2012, toen er een grote renovatie werd uitgevoerd door drie orgelbouwers: Manuel Rosales, Joe Sloane en Richard Houghten. Er werd een nieuwe console geïnstalleerd en er werden nieuwe registers toegevoegd, waaronder enkele digitale stemmen van Walker Technical Co.
